(A/N): I'm glad so many people liked the last chapter! Sadly this chapter is pretty short, we are in the middle of a snow storm so I have been trying to deal with that and other things but I promise that the next chapter will be MUCH longer! As always please leave a review and thanks for reading! -Darkrubie

Richard kept reliving that awful moment 5 months ago when Kori walked out of his life. He punched his desk and swore.

"This is why she left! I'm an asshole who can't learn to control his temper. If I had only tried listening to her side, maybe things would be so bad. I might have even grown to love the child as my own." Richard thought aloud.

He had sunk into a deep depression since Kori left. He tried calling her but she changed her number. He even tried going to her house to see her only to find out from one of her neighbours that she moved out of town. Richard turned his head at the sound of a knock at his bedroom door, he quickly rushed across the room and wrenched the door open, hoping to see her fiery red mane and pools of liquid emeralds that were her eyes. Richards face turned to disappointment when he saw his old friend Rachel standing there.

"What are you doing here?" He asked in a glum voice.

"Nice to see you too, I've been well, you look like shit though." She replied back with narrow eyes.

"Rachel I don't have time for this" he said, becoming annoyed.

"Well from what I hear, you have plenty of time." she said with a glare.

"Why are you even here? I haven't seen you in about a year." Richard asked.

Rachel pushed past him and stalked into his room.

"I want to know why my best friend has been sulking at my house for the past 5 months when she should be here with the father of her child, preparing said child's nursery." Rachel said, giving him a death glare.

"It's not my fault Xavier doesn't want his kid. Why aren't you grilling him?" Richard replied with an equally hard glare.

"You are so stupid! I am dragging your sorry ass back to jump with me and you will talk to Kori or so help me, hell will look like fun park when I'm done with you." Rachel said with an eerily calm voice.

"Don't you think I've tried talking to her? She changed her number and moved! She said she hates me." Richard finished with a sad voice.

"Well the sobbing I hear every night about you says otherwise." Rachel said with a soft tone. "I really do think you need to come back, I have sensed the love you two share since high school and I think it's time for you guys to grow up and talk about your feelings. Here is your plane ticket, take it or leave it." With that said, Rachel turned walked out leaving a stunned Richard behind.

Richard stood there and thought for a long while when he suddenly knew what he needed to do.

Kori sat on the couch at Rachel's apartment. She knew she should get her own place soon; she hated feeling like a burden.

"Hopefully the translator job will pull through for me." Kori thought to herself.

She had always been good at learning languages, that's why she was perfect for Wayne corp. They had to deal with people all over the world so knowing multiple languages was important. Richard had relied on her so much. The thought of him had tears pooling in her eyes for the millionth time since that horrid day. The anger wore off once she retuned to her home and a crushing hurt took its place. She didn't mean to say those things, she was just so angry that he would think that about her. Kori knew that she couldn't go back after that and decided that it would be best to just move away. She showed up on Rachel's doorstep the day after it happened with only a suitcase. Of course Rachel said Kori could stay as long as she wanted and she didn't even try to pry. She knew Kori would come to her when she wanted to. When Kori finally did Rachel instantly hugged her and told her everything would work out in the end. They stayed up all night eating ice cream and watching movies which actually made Kori smile for a little bit. Rachel was angry with Richard still, no one could bring him up or else Rachel would give them a glare.

Thinking of Rachel made Kori realize that she would be back from her business trip soon and Kori wanted to make dinner as a nice gesture for her allowing Kori to stay there. To be honest Kori was a horrible cook, no one could stomach her cuisine however Kori has been taking cooking lessons and she was pretty confident that she could make a simple chicken and rice dinner. Kori heaved herself off the couch, her burgeoning belly was making it harder to do things but she didn't mind. It meant that her baby was growing healthily and that made everything Kori was going through worth it.

"I will love you enough for two parents, plus you will always have your Auntie Rachel, Auntie Karen, and Uncle Vic." Kori said with a smile to her baby.

Karen and Vic were surprised to find out she was pregnant. Vic's first question was where the baby father was. I couldn't tell them what Richard had done so I simply told them that the father wasn't in the picture. Rachel sent me a questioning glance but thankfully she changed the subject before more questions could be asked. Kori smiled down at her belly again and went into the kitchen to begin among dinner. She tied and apron around her waist and began working. Kori was glad she put an apron on because she ended up getting flour everywhere. It was even in her hair and streaked on her face.

"It's a good thing no one can see me like this." Kori said with a smile only to have it dim a little bit when she heard the door bell ring.

She wasn't expecting anyone but maybe she had forgotten that Karen or Vic was stopping by. She had been forgetting a lot of things lately thanks to her "baby brain" she and Rachel called it. Kori walked to the door, wiping her hands on her apron and plastering a smile on her face. She opened the door but once she saw who was on the other side, her smile instantly fell and she wished she had never opened the door.
